Should have been a ref stoppage in round 9

[Nash out]

There was no flash knockdown, just some brilliant defensive footwork and body-swerving punch evasion combined with Ali-style rope-a-dope tactics by Fury. No justification at all for that corrupt ref to give Fury a count and Usyk a 10-8 round just because Tyson was leaning on the ropes. If Ali could do that, why couldn't Tyson?

Kafkod out.

I thought it was tremendous rope-a-dope as well, but when Fury tripped on his shoelace and slightly buckled into the ropes. It was, if anything at all, a flash knockdown. These people trying to say it should have been stopped do not know what they are watching.

Want to see a great punch and real knockdown, watch Fury's punch-push combo vs Dillian Whyte. That's a real knockdown.

Fury should have got the win, but he made 1 mistake of not taking out Usyk in Round 6 (I think) with the finisher after he had Usyk rockin'.

Still, a comeback victory 'against the odds' will only enhance his legacy. It was a controversial points loss. Not like he's been knocked out 1000 times like Mike Tyson and the Jamaican/Canadian Lennox Lewis. Nash Out

Tyson was within a hair of having the fight stopped. Looking at the footage, it’s a minor miracle he managed not to hit the canvass. And then the timing: Fury stayed upright just long enough to be saved by the bell. The ref’s actions could be argued either way. I think it’s a waste of time debating his officiating. I would argue that in a fight of this magnitude, each combatant must be given every opportunity to continue. Usyk won, mainly on the strength of that very round. All’s well that ends well.

Oh, now we have the referee conspiracy it seems. Even if Fury wasn't in a knockdown, the referee can't prevent the judges from giving 10-8 to Usyk for this round because the rules allow it. If he scored a knockdown the first or the second time Fury rushed to the ropes then the same conspiracists will say he prevented Usyk from delivering more punches. This is all so clueless. So do we consider this referee as corrupt as Luis Pabon?

Why bring race into it?

Kenny Bayless is black and he was a key member of the glovegate, eggweightgate, water dopinggate conspiracy that cheated Deontay out of his WBC title.

I am glad to finally hearing you admitting the obvious. Honest confession is good for the soul. I feel validated now.

In any case, Fury got his ass whupoed by Usyk. At first glance I thought Fury won but after rewatching it. It was true.

Oleksandr Usyk really did win that fight and the scorecards were spot on. They were very accurate.

I thought Fury swept rounds 4-7 and then Usyk took total command of the fight and dominated it after that.

On Saturday, we’ve witnessed what can happen to Fury when there is an even playing field and he is forced to play by the rules.

He becomes vulnerable. Also, where was his upper body head movement? They were absent.

[Pac=Duran]

Maybe should have called standing 8 sooner.

Fury got knocked down 4 times technically lol

The fact that Usyk is levels above Wilder in every department except one punch power is the reason why Fury looked more vulnerable against him.

I think the ref did his job, nothing to whine about, question.... is it not wise to take a knee in that situation fury was in getting knocked around?

Maybe ???
Definitely after the second hold-up by the ropes , he should of gotten a count imo
Then Usyk would of most likely had the opportunity to Ko that fraud called Fury

- - Blubber knowed if he took a knee in the middle of being blasted to Timbuktu he keel over like a kicked dog to be counted out. Nelson the ref a grade B lesser ref in by far his biggest fight ever and he was overwhelmed.

Prob also didn't want the Mob giving him a visit in the coming weeks. I predicted Usyk would humiliate Blubber and he did better than I could've imagined, what 4-5 KDs by the rules in a single round that the ref blew. Geez, no wonder Blubber ducked $150mil split with AJ that Eddie put together a few years ago when AJ was unified. Been an easy KO;

Not a fraud. Just a re tar d. Has the physical attributes and skills to beat any heavy in history but he blew up between fights constantly and didn't implement proper game plans in a few of his fights.

His poor performances and knockdowns vs Wilder can be attributed to awful tactics and terrible conditioning.

Same in this fight.

Why does Fury have no muscle tone? He should have done weights a bit at some point in his career to put on good weight. He's always be a flabby cvnt which is unforgiveable at this level.

His brothers are in better shape aesthetically than him lol
